vigneti villabella corvina, rondinella, molinara (amarone della valpolicella classico)

點擊次數：2107

There’s a slightly muddled quality to the bouquet of this Amarone that recalls mixed spice, berry confiture and chewy chocolate-hazelnut treats. The wine shows medium density and intensity on the close that ultimately makes it easier to pair with home-cooked foods like lasagna and meatloaf. ——M.L.(12/1/2011)—— 89

This is a more compact and elegant expression of Amarone that lets the quality of its ripe fruit shine through. You’ll recognize tones of cherry and cassis. But there are also balanced mineral, almond and spice notes at the back. The mouthfeel is bright, focused and persistent. ——M.L.(2/1/2011)—— 90

VillaBella delivers a generous Amarone from the Classico zone with loads of spice and characteristic blackberry and cherry fruit. On the one hand, the wine tastes a bit overripe with strawberry marmalade. On the other, the firm tannins and natural freshness keep it in check. Age this wine another five years. ——M.L.(12/1/2009)—— 89

This is one of the most fruit-forward Amarones I have tasted from this vintage. The concentration and extraction is very good and the nose is richly redolent of plump black cherry, plum, blackberry and blueberry supported by shadings of chocolate, tar and caramel. Creamy succulence and a long, drying finish characterize the mouthfeel. Imported by Wine Wave.——M.L.(12/1/2007)—— 90
